ripdajacker Posted July 4, 2006 Share Posted July 4, 2006 (edited) WiX one beta released:)Download hereUpdates since last:- Added multiple commands per item- Added a bunch of colorthemes- Made an ini editor (not done)- Added pre and postinstall scriptsFeatures:- Colorthemes, which are easily customized (Two are included)- Unattended install with timer or without- Easy to use INI files to write commands and params in- Very memoryefficient- Very easy to manage application installs (You just have to dump the inifiles in the inifolder and voila!)- Includes an ini editor Screenshot:There are three types of INI files in this system:1) The main.ini2) An application ini3) A colortheme iniThe main.ini is where following information is stored:[Main] (section name)Title (Windows title)SkinDir (Directory of which the colortheme ini's (skins) are in.)DefaultSkin (Default skin, (specify only filename, not full path))DefaultInstallDelay (The amount of seconds the program will wait before it install the default package)ExitOnComplete (True/False - if true the application will exit after the installation process, if false it will not)An application ini has the following form:[Main] (section name)Name (The name of the application to be installed i.e the name which is viewable by the user)Default (True/False - sets the default flag)[Commands]Command# (The command to execute)Param# (The parameters) //replace # with a number starting with 1The colorthemes you can figure out for yourself, they are fairly simple.

mazin Posted July 7, 2006 Share Posted July 7, 2006 Thanks, ripdajacker, for sharing your app.I'm about to create app CD for my PC. Please, can you tell where to put what?And, what about commands like: copy, del, regedit, etc.Thanks, again. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ripdajacker Posted July 13, 2006 Author Share Posted July 13, 2006 I am currently on vacation, but I am glad that you liked my app. The next version is to come around 8th/9th of august, and it will feature the following (it's almost done but I don't have a computer with development tools to finish/compile it while i'm on vacation):- Multiple commands per item, including pre- and postinstallation scripts- An INICreator for the app, so that it´s easy for y'all to create the installation scripts and so on- One big pile of colorthemesCurrently in early alphastage is real skinning support as in eg. trillian or winamp.In the upcoming version the inis will approximately look like this:[Main]Name: stringDefault: boolean[Commands]Command#: stringParam#: string* where you replace the # with an integer, starting from 0 (all this will be made as easy as click and write with the ini editor)So mazin, wait about a month and you'll get a much improved app, with actual functionality.

mazin Posted August 4, 2006 Share Posted August 4, 2006 Testing Results.I ran WIX for testing purposes on a running XP-Pro-SP2. I tested WIX for seven applications of different commands to see what's working and what's not.All codes below work fine except those underlined.[Main]Title=WiX one!INIDir=inifilesAppDir=appsSkinDir=skinsDefaultSkin=deviantart.iniDefaultInstallDelay=25ExitOnComplete=True[Main]Name=UltraISO 7.5 MEDefault=True[Commands]Command1=UISO75ME\UISO75ME.exe /LANG=en /NoIcons=0 /VERYSILENT /SP-Param1=False[Main]Name=Calendar Builder 3.2qDefault=True[Commands]Command1=CalBuild\CalBuild.exe /sParam1=FalseCommand2=COPY CalBuild\CB.ini "%SYSTEMDRIVE%\Program Files\Calendar Builder\*.*"Param2=False[Main]Name=EVEREST Home Edition 2.20.405Default=True[Commands]Command1=EVEREST\EVEREST.exe /VERYSILENT /SP-Param1=False[Main]Name=Longhorn Clock 1.62bDefault=True[Commands]Command1=LClock\LClock.EXE /SParam1=FalseCommand2=copy LClock\*.ini "%SystemDrive%\Program Files\LClock\*.*"Param2=False[Main]Name=RegShot 1.7.2Default=True[Commands]Command1=RegShot\RegShot.exeParam1=False[Main]Name=SciTE 1.62-wbd-1Default=True[Commands]Command1=SciTE162\SciTE162.exe /VERYSILENTParam1=False[Main]Name=WinZip 9.0Default=True[Commands]Command1=regedit.exe /s WinZip\BEFORE.regParam1=FalseCommand2=WinZip\WinZip.exeParam2=FalseCommand3=regedit.exe /s WinZip\AFTER.regParam3=FalseHere's my folder structure and WIX when finished.As you can see, INIs are named so that they execute in the order I want them to.

mazin Posted August 15, 2006 Share Posted August 15, 2006 @ ripdajackerHave you got a solution for those commands: copy, delete, and regedit? Or, maybe I'm applying them the wrong way!Thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or, maybe I'm applying them the wrong way!Thanks.I am working on a fix right now. I would imagine a "dirty" way to do it would be, to include the path of the regfiles. A fix will be done soon so just stay tuned Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
